Total Understanding Series: Scale model easy finish and weathering technique.

"Isn't this the real thing?" A finishing painting technique that makes things look more realistic A

"scale model" is a scale model that is a reduced version of the real thing.
Especially in recent kits, even the smallest details are reproduced, and you can create a precise model just by assembling it as is.
It is no exaggeration to say that the final result depends on "how to paint it to look like the real thing."
This book introduces a way to make it look more realistic by adding an extra step after the basic painting.
